The outside audience was tense, expectant. They didn't know if the students from the eight countries could break through Shenlong Country's city.
They also didn't know if Zhou Yan could return to help; everything remained uncertain, creating great anticipation. Each of them was eager to see how Zhou Yan would resolve the crisis.
Shenlong Country's city was already under attack from all directions. The sixteen thousand troops were divided into four attack vectors, with forty thousand enemies outside each city wall.
Furthermore, the students from Meili Country were still in consultation with students from other countries, actively seeking reinforcements. Their objective was to defeat Shenlong Country's forces at all costs.
This infuriated and frustrated the viewers from Shenlong Country. These students were truly despicable, uniting so many countries against Shenlong Country!
This scene was all too familiar on the Canglan Continent, much like how Shenlong Country faced other hostile nations.
Other countries, seeing Shenlong Country's overwhelming strength, were consumed by jealousy. They formed alliances, employing every possible means to suppress Shenlong Country's development.
Shenlong Country was now isolated and without allies in the competition. Could they possibly break through this predicament?
On the live stream, many foreign netizens began to shout in triumph.
"I can already see the downfall of Shenlong Country."
"This is what teamwork is about. In individual combat, that Zhou Yan is indeed formidable, but alas, no matter how strong an individual is, they cannot stand against so many allies."
"This is the benefit of alliances. Shenlong Country's students were too arrogant, leading to too many enemies. They are bound to lose this time."
"And they will be defeated by a group mob."
"People of Shenlong Country, don't count on Zhou Yan. He's too far from the city. By the time they return, the city will have long since fallen."
Foreign netizens unanimously declared that Zhou Yan and his team would surely lose this time and would be unable to break the deadlock. They seemed to envision Shenlong Country's students being teleported out after their crystal was destroyed.
Naturally, the people of Shenlong Country were displeased and began to retaliate on the live stream, asserting that Zhou Yan would arrive in time to rescue them and defeat the eight-nation alliance's army.
Regardless of external developments, everything depended on the strength of Shenlong Country's students.
The three of them bore the responsibility for the crucial moment of this battle.
They could not lose, and they absolutely must not lose!
They had to withstand the enemy's assault. As long as they could hold off the enemy, the ultimate victory would undoubtedly be theirs!
The siege battle raged fiercely. The enemy continuously scaled the city walls, attempting to breach the city, but they were all repelled and killed.
The city gates had been sealed with stones by the three of them, so the enemy could only attack from the city walls.
They had constructed makeshift wooden ladders, ropes for climbing, and even grappling hooks specifically designed for scaling city walls.
The difficulty of the assault far exceeded their expectations. Shenlong Country's soldiers fought fearlessly, their morale high. They would rather die than let the enemy breach the city walls, with many soldiers even perishing alongside their attackers.
However, bad news continued to arrive. Students from Meili Country had contacted six more countries, who had also decided to dispatch twenty-five thousand troops to attack Shenlong Country's city.
"Excellent! Once our reinforcements arrive, our total army will reach 390,000!"
"Shenlong Country's city is destined to fall this time!"
"We will be able to trample Shenlong Country underfoot. What an exhilarating prospect!"
"This is a moment worthy of celebration!"
Upon hearing this news, the lords of the eight-nation alliance were overjoyed, eager to pop champagne and celebrate immediately.
This development further amplified the anxiety of Shenlong Country's viewers.
With six more allied nations joining the fray, the enemy was resolute in their determination to annihilate Shenlong Country.
Shenlong Country, fighting alone against the armies of numerous allied nations, what would be their fate?
Would they break through and be reborn, or be annihilated?
Feng Qingyang's pet finally flew to Zhou Yan.
Upon seeing the pet, Zhou Yan immediately recognized it as Feng Qingyang's.
It was a peculiar and very cute bird capable of breathing fire. Feng Qingyang had mentioned that this Azure Bird had been with him since it was an egg and was still in its juvenile stage.
"Little one, did something happen?" The little Azure Bird flew onto Zhou Yan's shoulder and chirped incessantly, trying to convey something. Zhou Yan couldn't understand its words, but he could sense its unease.
"Don't worry, I'm here for everything." Zhou Yan gently stroked the little bird's head and then took out the note it carried.
"City under attack by the eight-nation allied forces. Return quickly!"
This was the message on the note. Zhou Yan frowned upon reading it. The enemy had actually united to attack Shenlong Country. These fellows had quite the plan.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Ye Bufan also noticed Feng Qingyang's pet bird and quickly asked.
"Take a look." Zhou Yan handed the note to Ye Bufan.
After reading it, Ye Bufan also exclaimed in anger, "These scoundrels! They're ganging up to bully us!"
Then, Ye Bufan looked at Zhou Yan and asked, "What do we do now? Should we prepare to return immediately!"
Zhou Yan shook his head and replied, "No! We continue to attack other lord countries."
"What! That's the eight-nation alliance! I believe they will recruit even more people to attack our city. We're not going back to help?" Ye Bufan was also surprised by Zhou Yan's suggestion.
"It's just not necessary. As long as we can conquer more cities, they will be forced to summon more soldiers. With enough soldiers, it will be absolutely impossible for them to break through our city," Zhou Yan explained his reasoning.
Ye Bufan understood, but he still worried, "But can we be fast enough? If we're too late, won't our city be in danger?"
Zhou Yan asked, "Even if we return now, how long do you think it will take us? Will it be in time?"
Ye Bufan thought for a moment and agreed, "You have a point. Then we must conquer other cities even faster."
"Heh heh, they forced my hand. So they can't blame me!" Zhou Yan chuckled and said, "Let me destroy all their cities by myself!"
Ye Bufan's eyes widened upon hearing this. "What? What did you just say? You want to destroy all the cities of other countries by yourself? Are you joking?"
Everyone thought Zhou Yan was joking, but only Zhou Yan knew he was not.
Without further explanation, Zhou Yan unfurled his Yin Yang Double Wings, moving with lightning speed towards the next city.
Zhou Yan's performance was about to begin anew!
